Mouse Fruit Snacks

My rat has to go on a "diet"?

So last night I took my rat to the vet because she has sores, porphyrin, etc. and the vet said that I shouldn't feed her anything that has a lot of dye or artifical flavors in it. She also said to change the bedding (I use CareFRESH). Any suggestions for natural snacks and stuff? Thanks!!

Also, I use Mazuri Rat and Mouse Diet for their food (and of course fruits and veggies, etc.) Is that fine??
Holy cow, Becca!! You really take care of your rats!! lol

Mazuri should be okay, but has a lot of protein. I would go with Harlan Teklad. 2018 is for young ones/breeding, 2016 is good for girls, and 2014 is for fatties and males. For bedding, you could switch to carefresh ultra (less dust), eco bedding, yesterdays news cat litter, or aspen shavings. Be sure to freeze it for 48hours before use in order to kill any bugs that might be living on it! Fruits, veggies, low-fat yogurt, and baby foot are great snacks. Also, fish and meat, and eggs are a hit! Natural, low sugar/fat cereals and crackers are loved by many a rat

7 Great Tips to Lose Your Love Handles

We all know how hard it can be to lose weight, especially those difficult areas like our love handles. If you are struggling to lose your love handles, then these 7 tips should help.

Tips To Lose Your Love Handles 1:

One of the most important aspects of shedding extra pounds is through controlling the types of food you eat. A few simple changes here will work wonders. For example, instead of eating the over refined white breads, choose wholemeal instead. They also contain complex carbohydrates which will make you feel fuller for longer. The same goes for white rice and pasta, the brown versions are much better for you.

Another area of your diet to look at is snacking. If you regularly snack on high fat food like potato chips, chocolate, pastries etc you are going to struggle to lose weight. Try and have some fruit handy to snack on, not only is it low fat but very nutritious too.

It's not only what you eat that can affect your waistline, but what you drink too. Sugary fizzy drinks usually have virtually no nutritional value. They are crammed with simple sugars that your body will just convert to fat if not burned off. Try and drink plenty of water instead, it contains no calories and will keep you hydrated as well.

With today's hectic lifestyles, many of us get our daily nutrition from just 2 or 3 large meals. This is not a healthy way of feeding our bodies. It would help your weight loss if you were able to break down your daily food intake into 6 smaller meals. Eating less more often will give your metabolism a regular kick-start, helping it to burn more calories throughout the day.

Tips To Lose Your Love Handles 5:

Understand your portion sizes. Many of us don't really know what is meant when a recipe says "1 portion of pasta", or "a portion of meat." With this in mind, it is easy to see how many of us eat food portions that are larger than we think. So, 1 portion of meat should be 100 grams (and about the size of a deck of cards. A single portion of rice or pasta is about a cupful, and a medium potato is about the size of your computer mouse.

Tips To Lose Your Love Handles 6:

Exercise! Well, it had to come eventually. The best type of exercise for any kind of weight loss is cardiovascular exercise. This is any routine that you can keep up for 30 minutes or more, that gets your whole body moving. Good examples are jogging, swimming, cycling, aerobics and squash. The important thing is to maintain the exercise for 30 minutes and do this for 5 days a week, giving your body 2 days to rest and recover.

While cardio exercises will help you lose the excess fat, there are other exercises that will help tone the muscle around the waist, such as sit ups, crunches and twists. It must be stressed though that you need to take steps to lose the fat that is covering your abdominal muscles, otherwise you will have toned abs hidden underneath layers of fat!
